Frequently Asked Questions
===========================

Please stop shouting and tell me what is this!
-----------------------------------------------

Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable operating system, containing a
whole set of applications working straight from boot, without the need
to install or change anything on the hard disk.

Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices and
offers a vast range of software for multimedia production: audio and
video manipulation, sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling,
photography, peer2peer filesharing, web browsing, veejaying, desktop
publishing, word processing, cd burning, email, privacy, anonymity
tools and more.

Dyne:bolic includes code from thousands of programmers all around the
world: a lively community of artists, teachers and developers writing,
using, distributing and adapting software according to diverse and
desires. We love to share what we accomplish freely: this operating
system does not contain non-free parts, thing you have to buy, drivers
that lock your hardware or forces you to use a certain product.

This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent
knowledge, keeping away from commercial speculations and capitalist
corporations that limit people's freedom. Our aim is to create a
peaceful environment that doesn't tries to rip you off at every click,
store your private information in the cloud, put a logo on your
creations or force your friends to download a plugin to watch your
videos.


* Quote of the day

  To be 'famous', one has to be 'recognisable'.
  Repetition is just a short cut to this state of affairs.

Dude! I know dyne:bolic, just tell me what's new!
--------------------------------------------------

Basically everything, starting from the software, the libraries and
the desktop. You will need hardware that is reasonably more powerful
than 5 years ago when dyne:II was released, while the desktop is now
way more user friendly and includes many configuration tools,
facilitates alternative access and is fairly intuitive.

It would be too long a list of changes now, so have a look around and
let us know what do you think, the dyne:bolic mailinglist is the best
place where to share your impressions and suggestions; we'll be
listening and we will be developing dyne:III further in the coming
months.

It doesn't works on my computer! some cards are not found...
-------------------------------------------------------------

A big difference between dyne:bolic and other popular operating
systems around is that we adopt only 100% free software, which means
our system is free from proprietary software. The result is that we
can provide support for less hardware cards (video, network, wireless
and such): just those working transparently, following a well
documented protocol and running free and open source drivers that make
it clear to everyone what the device is doing. It is frustrating on
the short term to have such a limited hardware support, but we think
is worth on the long term because it gives everyone the freedom to
study, adapt and modify software and hardware and to clearly know what
is happening inside our machines.

* Why freedom is better on the long term?

To explain why this is important, let us propose you an example in a
different context, that of food production: many farmers in the World
have been told by the global mega-corporations that by buying and
using their proprietary chemicals and seeds their farms would be more
productive. The result of this corporate fraud is that farmers become
dependent from foreign and proprietary chemicals and seeds: they are
often genetically modified so that plants won't produce more seeds,
plus they are protected by patents so that farmers themselves cannot
study, adapt and redistribute the technology they are using. It even
gets worst, since these proprietary and globalised products cannot be
appropriate to the contexts they are used: not even the promise of
productivity is maintained and the soil gets poisoned by the ignorance
and inability of the mega-corporations that will never be able to
supply very different needs around the world.

Now, back to your computer :^) think of how important is the
technology you use to build your social interaction online, your
digital productions and audio/video creations. As the importance of
this technology grows in your life, so it grows the power of the
mega-corporations which are acting unethically by locking you out of
your own device, denying your freedom to study, modify, adapt and
redistribute all what you use. On the long term you will find yourself
depending from these technologies and being limited by them, you will
not be able to evolve and use your knowledge and skills at their full
potential. You'll be a mental slave trained to say yes to license
agreements progressively corroding your rights and interacting with
prefabricated interfaces which will limit your freedom and squeeze out
your time and money while doing that.

That's why we consciously eliminate support for the hardware that
closes you up in such traps. For instance if you are a digital artist,
using dyne:bolic or other 100% free operating systems you can be sure
that your creations can be preserved in time, without being held
hostage of proprietary technologies needed to reproduce them.

* Ok! so you think you're smart, hu? what should I do then?!

Next time you buy technology, think twice and choose wisely! here is a
useful initiative you can visit to find out which hardware is well
supported by free software: [http://www.h-node.com]

Liberate yourself from mental slavery!



Hey! I'm not a noob, can you tell me what's under the hood?
------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, lets put it clear: dyne:III is a completely new development base
and this release is just the beginning of a new course. Right now the
most interesting part is in the SDK and, while it is a usable and
useful live OS, dyne:bolic 3.0.0 release doesn't yet implements all
the features that we are going to put in there: but don't worry, they
will start coming.

The dyne:III consists in a Debian-Live system running free packages
from various Apt based distributions, mostly Pure:dyne and Trisquel,
which are blends of Ubuntu. Debian-Live scripts in particular have
progressed well in the past years and finally reached a point that is
comparable to the dyne:II boot scripts, so now we can start from there
and build on top of the Debian foundations.

On the desktop we have a fine tuned Gnome 2, for booting there is
Grub2 and our ramdisk script lets you boot automatically from an ISO
on your harddisk or even on a USB stick, without the need to extract a
directory from it.

With some time and your good support, we plan to implement inside
dyne:III most features already present in dyne:I and dyne:II like:
optimization for old hardware, docking, nesting, good introductory
documentation, the modules mechanism and more possibilities to
customize and to cluster machines on the same network in various
ways. But this time we are looking at the longer term: rather than
implementing our unique live features just for our own system, we plan
to integrate them into the APT structure so that, in case they like,
also other distributions can benefit from them. While doing that we
can concentrate less on package maintainance and more on the actual
development of the SDK and our operating system.

Interested in what is coming up? take contact with us and start
exchanging code, more than ever the dyne:III approach is open to
collaborations, you'll find us on the gnu-linux-libre and of course on
the dynebolic mailinglists. Here below some links:

And.. what does the codename MUNIR stands for?
-----------------------------------------------

The codename of dyne:III is an hommage to the memory of Munir Said
Thalib, a human rights activist that was assassinated in 2004 on a
flight between Indonesia and the Netherlands, poisoned with
arsenic. His witness and courage, together with that of more fellow
activists, brought him to question the integrity of a despotic
government acting against the interest of its own citizens. His
actions stand as an example for all those who struggle for peace and
solidarity, questioning corrupted and despotic powers despite the
dangers that such actions imply.

Munir died fighting the injustice and long trail of corruption from
the dictatorship of militarized mass murders: denouncing the their
regime, their persecutions, corruption, sanguinary repression of youth
movements and servile opportunism to the rootless interests of the
mega-corporations.

We stand united with all the brothers and sisters of Kontras, IKOHI
and YPKP. We will not forget Munir, as many other human rights
activists who were assassinated like him. One can kill a man, but
cannot kill ideas. All our solidarity goes to those who have known him
in life and irremediably miss him now and, most importantly, to all
those who commit to make the World a better place by denouncing the
corruption, collusion and nepotism of the ruling casts in power.

Who are you?!
--------------

A swarm of people and ideas, sometimes condensed around a pair of
hands on a keyboard. You can point your browser to [http://dyne.org] to
find out more, many links bring to different places and hopefully
you'll enjoy your journey through our literature, which is also
constantly changing and, if you like, co-evolving with you.

Dyne.org is a non-profit foundation dedicated to development of free
software as in free speech. Since the year 2000 dyne.org managed to
connect a loose network of hackers and gather their activity in both
on-line and on-site operations. Admittely, in recent times, the
culture we come from has grown to the point that reducing our presence
to a single entity is way too reductive. Dyne.org is a network of
networks, a meeting point, a campfire, a whispering place and a stage
for ideas and projects of which dyne:bolic is just one of many.

If you like to support dyne.org and help us raise the quality of what
we do, please consider to make us a donation or get in touch to
discuss opportunities and cooperations.

Many are the people we are grateful for all the support they share to
make our projects blossom, as crazy idealistic as they can be, our
love constantly inspire more and more people around. We will do our
best to express our gratefulness in actions and facts rather than in a
list of names here, which would be always incomplete, since you are
many out there and you know it well.

The following organizations have recently contributed to help us along
the hard road to success: Servus.at / Stadtwerkstatt, Montevideo/NIMk,
the Pixel network, The hackmeeting community, the Free Software
Foundation and the GNU Project, Kennisland / Digital Pioneers, The
Next Layer, the Hackerspace movement and all those crazy people who
believe we can make the World a better place for humanity and know
very well we can't do it alone.
